* Add Pican2 supportFabien Lahoudere2018-12-121-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | In order to make Pican 2 work, we : - add mcp2515.dto to the overlay list - add a variable to enable it in local.conf - create a udev rule to mount interface http://skpang.co.uk/catalog/pican2-canbus-board-for-raspberry-pi-23-p-1475.html Signed-off-by: Fabien Lahoudere <fabien.lahoudere@collabora.com>
* extra-build-config.md: Update docs as per SDIMG_COMPRESSION removalIurii Lunev2018-12-121-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | Using SDIMG_COMPRESSION variable to choose compression type for produced images is deprecated. IMAGE_FSTYPES should be used instead. This patch removes any reference to SDIMG_COMPRESSION variable within the build documentation. Signed-off-by: Iurii Lunev <koolkhel@mail.ru>

* sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass: drop KERNEL_INITRAMFS variableMartin Jansa2018-07-161-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * use INITRAMFS_SYMLINK_NAME from new kernel-artifact-names.bbclass instead of KERNEL_INITRAMFS * the documentation says that KERNEL_INITRAMFS should be used to define extension of initramfs, but in linux-raspberrypi.inc it's defined only to 1 or empty based on INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE variable and I don't see any code in meta-raspberry or oe-core which would use KERNEL_INITRAMFS to actualy name the initramfs artifact to create: ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}${KERNEL_INITRAMFS}-${MACHINE}.bin used in classes/sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass * also fix the assumption that there is -${MACHINE} suffix in: ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}${KERNEL_INITRAMFS}-${MACHINE}.bin because that's defined as KERNEL_IMAGE_SYMLINK_NAME and some DISTROs might use different value * this depends on oe-core changes which were merged today: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=7d0ef0eaa1bfe97015a774c26f5791622e7e8b12 * this is the last piece of previous pull-request: https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/pull/159 Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa <Martin.Jansa@gmail.com>

* rpi-config: support more commonly used config variables and update documentationHugo Hromic2018-04-201-3/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | Added support for and documented the following new extra build options: * gpu_freq overclocking option * disable boot rainbow splash screen * configure the boot delay after GPU firmware loading * configure common HDMI and composite video options Signed-off-by: Hugo Hromic <hhromic@gmail.com>
* rpi-config: Add RPI_EXTRA_CONFIG optionPaul Barker2017-12-181-0/+16
| | | | | | | The variable RPI_EXTRA_CONFIG can be set in local.conf to append text to the Raspberry Pi config.txt file as described in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker <pbarker@toganlabs.com>
* Support using u-boot with Image format for raspberrypi3-64Paul Barker2017-09-241-3/+5
| | | | | | | | For raspberrypi3-64 we need to use the Image or Image.gz format with u-boot instead of the legacy uImage format. We also need to issue the 'booti' command to boot the kernel instead of 'bootm'. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker <pbarker@toganlabs.com>

* docs: drop "Device tree support" sectionMirza Krak2017-05-261-13/+0
| | | | | | | We no longer provide any Linux kernel which do not have device-tree support and all machines setup KERNEL_DEVICETREE correctly. Signed-off-by: Mirza Krak <mirza.krak@endian.se>
* docs: fix alignment of "code blocks"Mirza Krak2017-05-261-27/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We provide a lot of variable examples as code blocks in the following format: some text: `Variable` or some test: `Variable` Which is not as pretty as (when converted to html/pdf): some text: Variable Converted all and hoppefully this will improve readability a bit.

* docs: Remove incompatible table formatPaul Barker2017-05-261-10/+11
| | | | | | | Sadly sphinx doesn't support pipe tables in markdown at the minute. Let's use a bullet-point list instead. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker <pbarker@toganlabs.com>
* docs: Initial split of README into docs directoryPaul Barker2017-05-261-0/+183
The top-level README document has got pretty unwieldy and so we need to switch to add some more structure to our documentation. The first step is to split out sub-sections of the README document into separate files in a new 'docs' directory. Whilst splitting up the README, we can also take the opportunity to tidy things up and fix a couple of typos. Signed-off-by: Paul Barker <pbarker@toganlabs.com>
